This is a fantastic bedside affirmation book but have just a few let-downs: being Christian, I did not appreciate the photo insert of her New York Post Magazine cover that said "God hates us... but we have an angel (referring to her work with Victoria secret)." I just found that a bit offensive, although that was probably not her intention at all. I can understand that she wanted to share a few magazines, but I just think that one cover was a poor choice to include. I really love the fact that it is a book of positive affirmations (that's all it is, with a couple sections of photo inserts and a small, but uplifting intro), but I just wish she had expanded a bit more on the affirmation interpretations, because I love when she talks in depth about something she is passionate about. My last thing, is that although I truly, absolutely LOVE the cover design and fabric, the binding is a bit tight and hard to open to read. I love the way her books have been designed and highly, highly recommend them to young girls and young adults (women especially) who want something simple, yet very helpful and motivating to get them started in self-discovery and learning about their potential. I do believe that Miranda is an incredibly kind-hearted, successful, accomplished and powerful woman and this shows through in both of her books, which I love. She doesn't just put her name on something for publicity, she is very involved in whatever she is promoting. She practices what she preaches and is quite humble. She is willing to accept her failures or short-coming, but she also uses them as learning experiences and she grows from them, which is something to really admire about her. I bought the book from her website for around $31 USD.
